We host events on Fridays or Saturdays (with the occasional exception). These range from events in our building, such as our tracks and trails event, to walks out and about around the local area to see what wildlife we can find. We also hold one or two 'event weekends' through the year, so keep your eyes out for information regarding these.
An evening with bats
Saturday 13th September
Event going ahead in full! :)
We’re hosting a special bat-themed afternoon and evening — something for all ages!
4:00 – 5:30pm | Bat Crafts – The Roundhouse, Treherbert
Family-friendly activities: make your own bat mask, create a leaf-winged bat, and discover fun bat facts.
6:00 – 6:30pm | Talk: Helping Bats in the UK – The Roundhouse, Treherbert
A short and engaging talk on how we can protect these incredible nocturnal creatures.
7:15 – 8:15pm (approx) | Bat Walk – Glyncornel Lake, Tonypandy
We’ll head out to this fantastic site, hoping to see bats swooping over the water — including, with luck, Daubenton’s bats!
Free & open to all. Come for one part, or stay for the whole evening — we’d love to see you there!
Free to attend and family-friendly – all are welcome!
